The Most Trafficked Animal on Earth Is Looking for a Home. Could Yours Be Next?

from I Am Tourism Stories · host I am tourism stories

The pangolin is the world's most trafficked mammal. It is covered in scales, armed with a tongue half the length of its body, and capable of forming a ball so impenetrable that lions give up. It makes no sound. It asks for nothing. And it is vanishing.In this episode of I Am Tourism Stories, Toby Jermyn — co-founder of Pangolin Africa and founder of Pangolin Photo Safaris — tells us everything the tourism industry needs to know about this extraordinary animal, why it sits at the centre of a thriving safari business, and what operators and guides are still getting dangerously wrong at pangolin sightings.
